TONIGHT ` JOHN KEY CONSIDERS WHETHER TO SEND OUR TROOPS INTO THE BATTLE WITH ISIS. IT WAS TERRIFYING ` ROCKS FALLING LIKE HAILSTONES. SURVIVORS OF JAPAN'S VOLCANIC EXPLOSION TELL THEIR STORIES. BUT WHO SAYS THOSE THREE WORDS FIRST? THE RESEARCH MIGHT SURPRISE YOU. KIA ORA. GOOD EVENING. ONE OF THE GOVERNMENT'S FIRST TASKS WHEN IT'S SWORN IN NEXT WEEK COULD BE GIVING THE GREEN LIGHT TO NZ'S INVOLVEMENT IN THE FIGHT AGAINST ISLAMIC MILITANTS. TODAY JOHN KEY CONFIRMED HE'S GETTING ADVICE ON WHETHER TO SEND KIWI TROOPS TO JOIN THE BATTLE. OUR CLOSEST NEIGHBOUR'S ALREADY JOINED A GROWING INTERNATIONAL COALITION AND USUALLY, WHERE AUSTRALIA GOES, WE GO. HERE'S POLITICAL EDITOR CORIN DANN. US-LED AIR STRIKES LIKE THIS ONE AGAINST AN ISLAMIC STATE BASE IN THE KURDISH TOWN OF KOBANI HAVE MILITARY BACKING FROM A NUMBER OF NATIONS, INCLUDING AUSTRALIA. NZ ISN'T YET ONE OF THEM. AT THIS POINT, THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY REQUEST OF NZ, BUT I CAN'T RULE OUT THAT THERE WON'T BE. BECAUSE WHAT YOU CAN SEE AROUND THE WORLD IS COUNTRIES BEING ASKED TO GIVE SUPPORT. WITH NO AIR STRIKE CAPABILITY, NZ'S MOST LIKELY MILITARY CONTRIBUTION WOULD BE SAS TROOPS TO HELP TRAIN LOCAL TROOPS. EARLIER THIS YEAR, JOHN KEY RULED OUT SUCH A MOVE. NOW WITH THE SITUATION ESCALATING, HE APPEARS TO BE RECONSIDERING. I CAN'T RULE THAT ABSOLUTELY OUT, BUT WHAT I CAN SAY IS I WILL GET ADVICE, AND WE WILL SEE HOW THAT GOES, BUT IT WOULD BE MY LEAST PREFERRED OPTION. OPPOSITION PARTIES SAY NZ SHOULD STICK TO A UN PROCESS. THE PRIORITY, PARTICULARLY IF WE'RE ON THE UN SECURITY COUNCIL, IS TO WORK FOR A WIDE-BASED MULTILATERAL MOVEMENT AGAINST ISIS, STARVING IT OR ARMAMENTS, STARVING IT OF PEOPLE, MOST PARTICULARLY, STARVING IT OF FUNDING. WHILE JOHN KEY IS OUTRAGED BY THE ACTIONS OF ISIS AND OPEN TO A REQUEST FOR HELP FROM THE US, HE'S ALSO CLEARLY WARY OF GETTING BOGGED DOWN IN ANOTHER LENGTHY MIDDLE EAST WAR. HISTORY HAS TAUGHT US, RIGHTFULLY SO, JUST TO BREATH DEEPLY BEFORE YOU TAKE A STEP WHEN IT COMES TO IRAQ. JOHN KEY'S ALSO LOOKING AT THE TERROR THREAT RISK TO KIWIS. IT IS TRUE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT THE OVERALL THERAT RISK IN NZ AND ASSESSING ABOUT WHETHER IT SHOULD CHANGE. SO WHILE JOHN KEY HASN'T RECEIVED A REQUEST TO FIGHT ISIS YET, EVEN HE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT COULD CHANGE WHEN HIS GOVERNMENT'S OFFICIALLY SWORN IN NEXT WEEK. CORIN DANN, ONE NEWS. MEANWHILE, PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS ADMITTED THAT US AGENCIES UNDERESTIMATED THE THREAT POSED BY THE ISLAMIST INSURGENCY IN SYRIA. IN AN INTERVIEW WITH 60 MINUTES, MR OBAMA SAID MILITANTS TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE BATTLE BETWEEN THE US AND AL-QAEDA IN IRAQ TO BUILD A POWER BASE IN SYRIA. HE ALSO SAID BOTH POLITICAL AND MILITARY MIGHT ARE NEEDED TO DEFEAT ISIS. THE STREETS OF HONG KONG HAVE BEEN TURNED INTO A VIRTUAL BATTLEFIELD AS TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PROTESTORS TAKE ON RIOT POLICE. RIGHT NOW IT'S 5.30 IN THE EVENING IN HONG KONG, AND AS THESE LIVE PICTURES SHOW, THERE ARE STILL THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN AN AREA CALLED CENTRAL IN THE BUSINESS DISTRICT BLOCKING ONE OF THE MAJOR THOROUGHFARES IN THE CITY AND IGNORING APPEALS TO LEAVE. THIS IS THE WORST UNREST HONG KONG HAS SEEN IN TWO DECADES. AND AS CHANNEL NINE'S MICHAEL BEST REPORTS, DEMONSTRATORS WERE WARNED TO RETREAT AND SAVE THEIR LIVES AS OFFICERS ATTACKED THE MASSIVE CROWDS. CHAOS ON THE STREETS ON HONG KONG. THEY'RE CALLING FOR DEMOCRACY. THEY GOT TEAR GAS, PEPPER SPRAY AND BATON CHARGES. TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PROTESTERS HAVE OCCUPIED THE CITY CENTRE FOR DAYS, RALLYING AGAINST PLANS BY CHINA TO RESTRICT THE FREEDOM OF UPCOMING ELECTIONS, ARMED WITH JUST UMBRELLAS AGAINST THE PAINFUL STINGING WEAPONS DEPLOYED BY POLICE IN RIOT GEAR. DOZENS OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN INJURED, EVEN MORE ARRESTED. BUT THEIR RESOLVE IS GROWING. I GUESS IT'S TIME TO ASK THE GOVERNMENT TO STEP DOWN. I'M TALKING ABOUT C Y LEUNG TO STEP DOWN. THE CITY'S LEADER SAYS PROTESTERS SHOULD RETREAT AND IS BRANDING ALLEGATIONS OF POLICE VIOLENCE AS RUMOURS. (SPEAKS CHINESE) 'POLICE ARE PROTECTING PUBLIC SAFETY,' HE SAYS, 'AND HAVE EXERCISED THEIR GREATEST CONTROL IN THE OPERATIONS.' CLAMOUR, EXPLOSIONS THE UNREST IS THE WORST SINCE CHINA TOOK BACK CONTROL OF HONG KONG IN 1997. PEOPLE ARE REALLY DETERMINED TO FIGHT FOR DEMOCRACY AND THEIR OWN DIGNITIES. A CITY AND ITS CITIZENS TORN, NOMINALLY AUTONOMOUS, BUT WITH A GOVERNMENT NOW ACCUSED BY PROTESTERS OF ENFORCING THE WILL OF BEIJING. HONG KONG IS ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR DESTINATIONS FOR INTERNATIONAL TRAVELLERS. THIS TINY REGION ON CHINA'S SOUTHERN COAST, ROUGHLY THE SAME SIZE AS URBAN AUCKLAND, HAS A POPULATION OF MORE THAN 7 MILLION, ONE OF THE MOST DENSELY POPULATED AREAS IN THE WORLD. THE FORMER BRITISH COLONY WAS HANDED BACK TO CHINA IN 1997 AFTER 155 YEARS, BUT WITH SPECIAL STATUS. COMMUNIST CHINA WOULD GOVERN HONG KONG UNDER THE 'ONE COUNTRY, TWO SYSTEMS' PRINCIPLE, MEANING THE CITY HAD A HIGH DEGREE OF AUTONOMY, KEEPING ITS CAPITALIST ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL SYSTEMS. IT ALSO HAS ITS OWN LEGAL SYSTEM, AND UNLIKE MAINLAND CHINA, FREEDOM OF ASSEMBLY AND FREE SPEECH ARE PROTECTED. PROTESTERS BELIEVE BEIJING IS MOVING TO CLAMP DOWN ON THIS FREEDOM AND WANT THE RIGHT TO DEMOCRATICALLY ELECT THEIR OWN LEADER. RESCUE TEAMS LOOKING FOR MISSING HIKERS ON A VOLCANO IN JAPAN HAVE BEEN FORCED TO STOP THE SEARCH AS THE VOLCANO CONTINUES TO SHOOT GAS, ROCKS AND ASH INTO THE AIR. A MASSIVE VOLCANIC ERUPTION HAS KILLED AT LEAST 36 PEOPLE ON MT ONTAKE, JAPAN'S SECOND-HIGHEST VOLCANO, SOME 200KM WEST OF TOKYO. DRAMATIC VIDEO'S REVEALED THE FRIGHTENING MOMENT ASH ENGULFED HIKERS. THE BBC'S RUPERT WINGFIELD-HAYES HAS THE DETAILS. THIS IS THE MOMENT A SUNNY SATURDAY MORNING ON MT ONTAKE SUDDENLY TURNED DEADLY. THE HUGE CLOUD OF ASH SPEWING FORM THE MOUNTAIN WAS CAUGHT ON CAMERA BY A JAPANESE DOCUMENTARY TEAM. PEOPLE SPEAK JAPANESE FURTHER UP THE MOUNTAIN, THIS HIKER CAUGHT THE FULL HORROR AS IT UNFOLDED ON HIS PHONE CAMERA. PEOPLE SPEAKS JAPANESE 'THIS IS REALLY DANGEROUS,' HE SAYS. 'THIS IS REALLY BAD.' PEOPLE SPEAK JAPANESE HE SCRAMBLES DOWNWARDS, HOPING TO GET TO A SHELTER. PEOPLE SPEAK JAPANESE BUT IN SECONDS, THE ASH CLOUD IS OVER HIM. WIND RUMBLES CRACKLING, RUSTLING YOU CAN HEAR THE TINY BITS OF ROCK RAINING DOWN. IT'S LITTLE WONDER MANY SURVIVORS SAY THEY WERE CONVINCED THEY WERE GOING TO DIE. (SPEAKS JAPANESE) 'IT WAS TERRIFYING,' THIS MAN SAYS. 'THE ROCK WAS FALLING LIKE HAILSTONES.' 'WE COVERED OUR FACES WITH ANYTHING WE COULD FIND, 'BUT WE STILL COULDN'T BREATHE OR EVEN OPEN OUR EYES.' PEOPLE EXCLAIM MEANWHILE, ON TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN, THESE SCREAMS ARE FROM A GROUP TRAPPED INSIDE A HUT. ASH BILLOWS OUTSIDE THE WINDOW. YOU CAN HEAR THE THUMP! THUMP! OF ROCKS FALLING ON THE ROOF. MORNING REVEALED THE EXTENT OF THE DESTRUCTION, THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN TURNED TO A MOONSCAPE, BUILDINGS COVERED IN A THICK LAYER OF ASH. AS RESCUERS FINALLY ARRIVED, THEY FOUND AT LEAST 30 PEOPLE LAY DEAD IN THE ASH FIELD. THE MILITARY MANAGED TO TAKE SOME SURVIVORS OFF BY HELICOPTER. OTHERS WERE CARRIED ON STRETCHERS. THIS EVENING, MT ONTAKE IS CONTINUING TO POUR ASH AND STEAM INTO THE SKY. THE QUESTION NOW IS ` WHY WAS THERE NO WARNING? AND SOME EXPERTS SAY IT WOULD'VE BEEN DIFFICULT TO PREDICT THE ERUPTION BECAUSE, DESPITE TREMORS IN THE AREA THIS MONTH, THERE WERE NO OTHER CHANGES IN THE MOUNTAIN. BACK HERE, THE PLAN TO BRING BACK AN ENTRY FEE FOR KIWIS WANTING TO VISIT WAITANGI'S TREATY GROUNDS IS COMING UNDER FIRE. FROM SATURDAY, NZERS WILL PAY A $15 ENTRANCE FEE. TE TAI TOKERAU MP KELVIN DAVIS OPPOSES THE MOVE AND SAYS HE'LL ASK THE GOVERNMENT TO EXPLORE ALTERNATIVE FUNDING ARRANGEMENTS. THE PRIME MINISTER ALSO SAYS IT'S A STEP IN THE WRONG DIRECTION. IT'S A VERY SPECIAL PLACE FOR SUCH A LONG LIST OF REASONS. I THINK, CONCEPTUALLY, IT WOULD BE MUCH BETTER TO KEEP IT AS FREE ENTRY FOR NZERS. OVERSEAS VISITORS WILL CONTINUE TO PAY $25. A ONCE DISGRACED MINISTER AND A POLITICAL NOVICE HAVE BEEN WELCOMED INTO JOHN KEY'S CABINET. TODAY THE PRIME MINISTER SETTLED CONFIDENCE AND SUPPLY AGREEMENTS WITH UNITED FUTURE AND ACT. DAVID SEYMOUR WILL BE JOINING THE EXECUTIVE AS A PARLIAMENTARY UNDER-SECRETARY TO THE MINISTER OF EDUCATION AND THE MINISTER OF REGULATORY REFORM. ...WHICH MEANS HE'LL EFFECTIVELY TAKE CONTROL OF CHARTER SCHOOLS, BUT CAN'T BE SCRUTINISED BY OTHER MPS IN THE DEBATING CHAMBER. AS FOR UNITED FUTURE'S PETER DUNNE, DESPITE BEING FORCED TO QUIT AS MINISTER LAST YEAR AMID SPECULATION HE LEAKED A SPYING REPORT, HE WILL HOLD ON TO THE INTERNAL AFFAIRS PORTFOLIO. A GROUP OF KIWIFRUIT GROWERS ARE SUING THE GOVERNMENT OVER THE DEVASTATING VINE DISEASE PSA. THEY WANT MORE THAN $880M IN COMPENSATION FOR WHAT THEY CLAIM WAS NEGLIGENCE AT THE BORDER. THEY ALLOWED MATERIAL THAT CAME INTO NZ THAT THEY HAD AN ELEMENT OF DOUBT ON. SO, FROM A PRIMARY INDUSTRIES PERSPECTIVE, THEY DIDN'T NEED TO TAKE THAT RISK. THE CLASS ACTION IS BASED ON ISSUES RAISED IN AN INDEPENDENT REPORT COMMISSIONED BY THE MINISTRY FOR PRIMARY INDUSTRIES IN 2012. IT SHOWED UP A NUMBER OF BIOSECURITY SHORTCOMINGS. THE PRIME MINISTER, HOWEVER, SAYS HE'S CONFIDENT THE GOVERNMENT HANDLED THINGS APPROPRIATELY. AFTER TUNNELLING MORE THAN 2KM BENEATH AUCKLAND, ALICE THE BORING MACHINE HAS SEEN DAYLIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 10 MONTHS. THE MASSIVE MACHINE'S BEEN HELPING BUILD OUR LONGEST ROAD TUNNEL IN THE BIGGEST ROADING PROJECT IN NZ HISTORY. THE TUNNEL'S THE CENTREPIECE OF AUCKLAND'S WATERVIEW CONNECTION. ALICE SET OFF IN NOVEMBER, TUNNELLING AN AVERAGE OF 7M A DAY. TOWARDS THE END IT WAS A LOT SLOWER THAN WHEN IT WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TUNNEL, BUT STILL IT WAS DONE PERFECTLY TO PLAN, WHICH IS WHAT WE WANTED. HER JOB'S NOT OVER YET, THOUGH. ALICE WILL NOW TURN AROUND AND DIG A SECOND TUNNEL. THE 14M WIDE TUNNEL IS EXPECTED TO OPEN IN EARLY 2017. SECURITY AT MIDDLEMORE HOSPITAL HAS BEEN TIGHTENED ONCE AGAIN AFTER THE LATEST BABY-SNATCHING INCIDENT. TODAY CONRAD AND ELJSE PRETORIUS, THE PARENTS OF THE BABY GIRL TAKEN ON THURSDAY, HAVE SPOKEN OUT ABOUT THEIR AGONISING WAIT FOR NEWS. A FULL REVIEW'S UNDERWAY AT MIDDLEMORE HOSPITAL, AND GUARDS ARE NOW ON DUTY 24-7 AT THE MATERNITY WARD. BUT THE PRETORIUS FAMILY'S LOST CONFIDENCE IN THE HOSPITAL AND SAYS IT WOULDN'T USE ITS MATERNITY SERVICES AGAIN. WE WERE TOLD IT'S GOING TO BECOME A FORTRESS, WHICH IT SHOULD BE. IT SHOULD BE BULLETPROOF. IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN IN NZ. THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE. THE COUPLE HAVE OFFERED COMPASSION TO THIS MAN AND A 26-YEAR-OLD WOMAN WHO'VE BEEN CHARGED WITH THE NEWBORN'S KIDNAPPING. THE HUGE BLAZE THAT RIPPED THROUGH AN AUCKLAND SCHOOL ON FRIDAY WASN'T SUSPICIOUS. THAT'S ACCORDING TO FIRE INVESTIGATORS. AUTHORITIES HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE BLAZE WHICH SEVERELY DAMAGED NORTHCOTE COLLEGE'S TECHNOLOGY BLOCK. THE FIRE SERVICE SAYS TESTS HAVE SHOWN NO SIGN OF AN ACCELERANT IN THE AREA AND THAT THE BUILDING WAS SECURE WHEN THE FIRE WAS DISCOVERED. THE INVESTIGATION HAS NOW BEEN CLOSED. SERVICES HAVE BEEN HELD ACROSS THE COUNTRY TODAY FOR THE 92 SERVING OR FORMER POLICE STAFF WHO'VE DIED IN THE LAST YEAR. IT'S BEEN FIVE YEARS SINCE AN OFFICER WAS KILLED IN THE LINE OF DUTY. ACCORDING TO THE POLICE ASSOCIATION THAT COULD BE BECAUSE GREATER ACCESS TO FIREARMS AND TASERS KEEPS COPS ON THE FRONTLINE SAFER. THE WAY YOU GET ON TO NZ WEBSITES IS ABOUT TO CHANGE. FROM TOMORROW YOU NO LONGER NEED TO HAVE AN ADDRESS ENDING WITH .CO.NZ OH NO, IT'S GOING TO BE SHORT AND SWEET. INTRODUCING .NZ, HERE'S JOY REID. MORE THAN HALF A MILLION KIWI WEBSITES END IN SOMETHING LIKE .CO.NZ OR .GOVT.NZ. IN FACT THERE ARE CURRENTLY 15 DIFFERENT OPTIONS TO PUT BEFORE YOU END YOUR WEBSITE WITH .NZ. BUT FROM 1PM TOMORROW, YOU CAN HAVE JUST .NZ. FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO REGISTER SHORTER, SIMPLER, MORE REPRESENTATIVE DOMAIN NAMES DIRECTLY AT .NZ IN ADDITION TO ALL OF THE EXISTING DOMAIN NAMES. IT'S JUST HAPPENED IN THE UK, AND NOW NZ, AHEAD OF AUSTRALIA AND THE US, IS FOLLOWING SUIT. THIS IS A BIG CHANGE. THIS IS PROBABLY THE BIGGEST TO THE .NZ DOMAIN NAME SPACE SINCE 2002. YOU JUST SIMPLY GET YOUR BRAND ASSOCIATED WITH THE COUNTRY AND NOTHING ELSE. IF YOU CURRENTLY HAVE A WEBSITE, SUCH AS TVNZ.CO.NZ, YOU HAVE SIX MONTHS TO RESERVE OR REGISTER THE .NZ EQUIVALENT. IF YOU DON'T, THEN AFTER SIX MONTHS, THE NAME IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. IF THERE ARE A FEW ENTITIES WHICH SHARE A SIMILAR NAME, THEN THE PARTIES MUST AGREE WHO GETS THE SHORTER .NZ VERSION. IF THEY CAN'T, THEN, NO ONE GETS IT. IF YOU DON'T TAKE CONTROL OF THESE ASPECTS OF YOUR BRAND, SOMEONE ELSE IS FREE TO DO IT AND YOU'LL NEVER GET YOUR NAME BACK. THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS USERS ASSOCIATION'S NOT TAKING ANY CHANCES. IT'S SNAPPING UP THE .NZ NAME TOMORROW BUT SAYS IT WON'T START USING IT STRAIGHT AWAY. IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN GRADUALLY, SO PEOPLE WHO ALREADY OWN NZ DOMAINS, .CO.NZ, ARE GOING TO KEEP USING THOSE IN THE INTERIM BUT I THINK THAT EVERYONE WILL JUST GRADUALLY MIGRATE TO THEIR NAME .NZ. IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE. AND IS QUICK TO TYPE TOO. JOY REID, ONE NEWS. COMING RIGHT UP ` THE HORRIFIC CONSEQUENCES WHEN BIG RIGS LOSE CONTROL. AND YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO SEE THOSE RINGS ` THE WORLD'S FIRST LOOK AT MR AND MRS CLOONEY. THE DRIVER OF A MONSTER TRUCK'S BEEN ARRESTED AFTER A STUNT WENT HORRIBLY WRONG IN THE NETHERLANDS. POLICE SAY THE DRIVER FAILED TO BRAKE AFTER STEERING OVER A ROW OF PARKED CARS. THE GIANT TRUCK PLOUGHED INTO SPECTATORS, KILLING TWO AND INJURING 23. IT'S FEARED THE DEATH TOLL COULD RISE. AFGHANISTAN'S PRESIDENT HAS JUST BEEN SWORN IN, ENDING SIX MONTHS OF DEADLOCK AND BITTER DISPUTE OVER ELECTORAL FRAUD. ASHRAF GHANI TAKES OVER THE PRESIDENCY, THANKS TO A US-BROKERED UNITY DEAL, WHILE RUNNER-UP ABDULLAH ABDULLAH TAKES ON THE NEW ROLE OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE. IT WAS WORTHY OF A HOLLYWOOD BLOCKBUSTER AND NOW THE FINAL ACT IN GEORGE CLOONEY'S WEDDING IS ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE. THE NEWLYWEDS WILL MAKE THEIR MARRIAGE OFFICIAL AT A CIVIL CEREMONY AT VENICE TOWN HALL SHORTLY. CHANNEL NINE'S PETER STEFANOVIC REPORTS. STEPPING OUT IN PUBLIC FOR THE FIRST TIME ` MR AND MRS CLOONEY. PEOPLE SHOUT PERHAPS A LITTLE TIRED AFTER LAST NIGHT, THE NEWLYWEDS BOTH WORE SUNGLASSES, BUT THAT DIDN'T HIDE THEIR JOY AND AFFECTION AS THEY SMILED AND WAVED TO THE CAMERAS AND CROWDS. THE 36-YEAR-OLD BRIDE WORE A LACE, LONG-SLEEVED DRESS WITH BRIGHT FLOWERS, WHILE THE GROOM WENT WITH A GREY SUIT. BUT WHAT STOOD OUT ` THOSE NEW WEDDING BANDS. IN A WATER TAXI, THE COUPLE LEFT THEIR SEVEN-STAR LUXURY HOTEL. THEY TRAVELLED UP THE GRANDE CANAL AND JOINED THEIR FAMILY AND FRIENDS FOR A POST-WEDDING LUNCH. GEORGE CLOONEY HAS BEEN MARRIED ONCE BEFORE, BUT HE SAID HE MADE A LOUSY HUSBAND. SO THE COUPLE HAVE REPORTEDLY EXCHANGED VOWS, IN WHICH THEY PROMISED NEVER TO SPEND MORE THAN TWO WEEKS APART, AND THEY'VE ALSO DECIDED TO SPLIT THEIR TIME BETWEEN THEIR HOMES IN LONDON AND LOS ANGELES. AFTER THE CEREMONY, THE GUESTS DRANK CHAMPAGNE AND DINED ON CANAPES, WHICH INCLUDED POLENTA WITH WILD MUSHROOMS, AND PROSCIUTTO HAM WITH FIGS. EVERYONE WAS TREATED TO THIS PERSONAL SNAPSHOT OF GEORGE AND AMAL, WHICH PRESENTED THEIR GOOFY SIDES. AND AS THE WEDDING GUESTS EMERGED IN THE MORNING'S EARLY HOURS, IT'S BEEN CLAIMED THEY WERE ALL GIVEN SPECIAL CAMERAS WITH INDIVIDUAL CODES, SO IF A PHOTO WAS LEAKED, IT WOULD BE TRACED BACK TO THE SNAPPER. THERE'S JUST ONE MORE ACT IN THIS EXTRAVAGANZA ` THE FINAL SEAL OF APPROVAL, WHEN THE COUPLE OFFICIALLY REGISTER THEIR MARRIAGE AT THIS 16TH-CENTURY TOWN HALL. NOW, POSSIBLY, MR AND MRS CLOONEY ALREADY KNEW THIS, BUT TODAY HAPPENS TO BE WORLD HEART DAY. YOU KNOW, TIME TO REMIND YOU ABOUT THINGS LIKE DIET AND EXERCISE, BUT THERE'S ANOTHER IMPORTANT FACTOR THAT CAN BENEFIT YOUR TICKER ` THE POWER OF LOVE. ERIN CONROY EXPLAINS. THE THING IS, I LOVE YOU. I LOVE YOU. I LOVE YOU. HOLLYWOOD'S DONE ITS HOMEWORK. < WHO FIRST UTTERED THOSE THREE WORDS? BECAUSE, MEN,... I RECKON THAT WAS ME. (LAUGHS) ...RESEARCH SUGGESTS IT'S YOU THAT SAYS IT FIRST. I'M PRETTY SURE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN ME. YEAH. CHEERS. I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MEMORABLE. (LAUGHS) BUT IT'S WHAT HAPPENS TO US WHEN WE'RE IN LOVE THAT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW, FOR THE SAKE OF OUR HEALTH. LOVE ` IT TENDS TO PRODUCE CHEMICALS LIKE DOPAMINE AND OXYTOCIN. THEY OPEN UP ARTERIES IN OUR SYSTEM, SO BY LOWERING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE, IT ACTUALLY REDUCES YOUR RISK OF HAVING A HEART ATTACK. WE'VE ALL HEARD ABOUT 'THE CHEMISTRY', BUT IT'S TRUE ` LIKE TAKING A DRUG ` AND NOT JUST AN ASPIRIN, LIKE COCAINE. NEITHER OF US CAN COMMENT ON THAT. WE'VE NEVER TAKEN DRUGS. OF COURSE. EVERYONE KNOWS THE FEELING WHEN YOU FALL IN LOVE AND YOU GET A BIT SWEATY AND DRY MOUTH. AND NOW FOR THE NEXT HEARTY FACT ` PUT ONE HAND ON YOUR HEART. LONG-TERM LOVERS' HEARTS BEGIN TO BEAT IN SYNC. I DON'T THINK SO, NO. NO, THEY'RE NOT. (LAUGHS) SADLY, NO. METAPHORICALLY, MAYBE. YEAH, NOT FAR OFF. YOU'D HOPE SO. THERE'S ONE OF THOSE. THEY'RE LOVERS, AND THEIR HEARTS ARE BEATING IN SYNC. SO ROMANTIC. I WOULDN'T BE HANGING MY MEDICAL HAT ON THAT ONE. BUT PERHAPS THE MOST ROMANTIC IN TODAY'S LOVE LESSON,... 40 YEARS MARRIED. (LAUGHS) ...AND ON THIS WE HAVE PROOF ` HOLDING THE HAND OF YOUR LOVED ONE CAN REDUCE PAIN. IT DOES. I AM A SURVIVOR OF OVARIAN CANCER. I WAS TERMINAL TWO YEARS AGO, AND THIS IS WHAT'S KEPT ME ALIVE ` MY HUSBAND. NOW, THAT REALLY IS THE POWER OF LOVE. < AND YOU'RE STILL HOLDING HANDS. WE DO. ALL THE TIME. EVEN IN THE CAR. (LAUGHS) NEVER STOP. ERIN CONROY, ONE NEWS. JUST AHEAD ` ALL YOUR WEATHER. AND MAD FOR THE MADDEN ` A DOUBLE DOSE OF COFFEE, GELATO AND SIBLING RIVALRY. NOW TO SOME WORLD FAMOUS ROCKSTARS. THE MADDEN BROTHERS ARE, AS THE NAME SUGGESTS, BROTHERS ` TWINS TO BE PRECISE. AND THEY ARE HUGE RIGHT NOW. THEIR LATEST HIT 'WE ARE DONE' HAS GONE RACKETING UP THE CHARTS THE WORLD OVER. EMMA KEELING SAT DOWN WITH THE PAIR DURING THEIR VISIT TO AUCKLAND. THEIR FIRST SINGLE, 'WE ARE DONE', HAS BEEN A WORLDWIDE HIT. AS WRITERS AND AS ARTISTS THERE WAS A LOT OF THINGS THAT WE REALLY WANTED TO DO THAT WE DIDN'T FEEL LIKE WE COULD DO. 'GREETINGS FROM CALIFORNIA' ` WE COULDN'T CALL IT A GOOD CHARLOTTE RECORD. I MEAN, WHEN YOU LISTEN TO IT YOU CAN SENSE THAT, YOU KNOW? YOU GET THAT IT'S DIFFERENT. VERY DIFFERENT. THE BROTHERS STARTED PUNK-POP BAND GOOD CHARLOTTE IN THEIR TEENS. # LIFESTYLES OF THE RICH AND THE FAMOUS, THEY'RE ALWAYS COMPLAINING, # ALWAYS COMPLAINING. # JUMP FORWARD 10 YEARS, AND JOEL FOUND A NEW AUDIENCE IN 2012 AS A JUDGE ON AUSTRALIA'S THE VOICE. WELCOME TO THE VOICE. HAS THAT CHANGED HOW YOU LOOK AT YOURSELF OR HOW YOU LOOK AT YOUR MUSIC? YEAH. IT MAKES YOU QUESTION WHAT'S YOUR PURPOSE. IS IT TO PERFORM OR IS TO DO SOMETHING ELSE? IT'S BEEN AN INTERESTING JOURNEY. BENJI JOINED JOEL AS A MENTOR ON THE VOICE FOR KIDS. IT HELPED DEVELOP THEIR NEW SOUND. JOEL DOING 'THE VOICE' AND ME DOING 'THE VOICE KIDS', AND BEING A PART OF THAT REALLY REALLY MAINSTREAM... LIKE, IN THE LIVING ROOMS OF PEOPLE HAS MADE US GO BACK TO THE MUSIC THAT WE REMEMBER FIRST HEARING AS KIDS. IN OUR LIVING ROOM. THAT INFLUENCED THIS RECORD SO MUCH ` THE BEACH BOYS, THE EAGLES. THE SINGLE 'WE ARE DONE' HAS GONE PLATINUM IN NZ. IT WENT DOUBLE PLATINUM. > THIS IS AWESOME. THIS IS THE FIRST PLAQUE ON THE RECORD THAT WE'VE GOTTEN. ACTUALLY, IT'S REALLY INTERESTING. ON OUR FIRST ALBUM... THE FIRST PLAQUE WE GOT WAS IN NZ. ...WITH GOOD CHARLOTTE. SO MUCH HAS CHANGED. THEY'RE FAMILY MEN NOW. WHICH IS WHY WE'RE PARTYING ON COFFEE AND GELATO. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT NZ WAS KNOWN FOR THE GELATO. AND THE MADDEN BROTHERS ARE PERFORMING IN AUCKLAND ON NOVEMBER THE 4TH. SO, THAT SONG GOT US IN THIS MOOD - HERE'S A BIT OF THE DOOBIE BROTHERS WITH YOUR WEATHER. FOR WEATHER, SEE ONENEWS.CO.NZ THAT'S IT FROM US HERE ON TONIGHT. THANKS FOR JOINING US. POMARIE ATU RA. CAPTIONS BY IMOGEN STAINES AND ANNA BRACEWELL-WORRALL.
